Re: Lombard boot from compact flash?
nemo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I read in Dan Knight's article Flash Memory Improves PowerBook on lowendmac.com that some folks have successfully booted a Lombard from compact flash.

The following _should_ work: ... (Lombard). Actually I doubt this will work with any model later than the WallStreet, as beginning with the Lombard it became impossible to boot from a hard disk connected to the PC Card slot -- where earlier models boot from the PC Card slot if a good System Folder is found there and chosen, just as if booting from an external SCSI drive. I noticed this change right away, since I had long relied on HDs connected via PC Card (in the 190/5300, 1400 and 3400/G3) to do software maintenance and repair -- far more convenient than using a SCSI drive. The Lombard you can start from an external SCSI drive, the Pismo and later from FireWire, but not via PCMCIA. (The WallStreet, oddly, will always boot from any System Folder found anywhere but the internal HD -- CD, SCSI, PCMCIA -- whether chosen in Startup Device or not -- an intended feature?

Re: 233 g3 powerbook and os9
thanks, guys... it's os9.01 message: This program cannot run on your computer. See the documentation for more information. I've also tried to start up from cd, same result. Next I'm going to reformat the drive, but I wanted to save what's on there first, and without my customary usb and firewire ports I'm having to scratch around just for a way to do that stewart Also, what version of OS9?

Re: 233 g3 powerbook and os9
it's os9.01 That's your problem. 9.0 will run on the Wallstreet and 9.0.4+ will run on the Wallstreet, but anything in between is a machine-specific release of Mac OS and hence won't run on the Wallstreet.

We're all set and the darn thing still won't stay connected unless we use a stack of index cards to support the plug from the yo-yo. So it must be the yo-yo, eh? Maybe not. The power supply connection comes loose from the circuit board on Wallstreets and may need to be resoldered. It happened to me. Just resolder the connector. If the YoYo plug is intermittant, you can probably make it act up by wiggling the cable where it connects to the plug ot the YoYo. If it's the WallStreet connection then wiggling the plug relative to the Wallstreet should show it. Try not to wiggle one while you are wiggling the other. Anyone have any thoughts besides a new yo-yo? And are there any alternatives, since I hear horror stories about them? If your YoYo's bad just start hacking at it to find the problem. If you have a bad DC cable connection at the YoYo end, split open the YoYo, strip the wire and re-solder it. Slap on a bit of silicone rubber for a strain relief. Glue the YoYo back together with super glue. It's not pristine, but you've got a power supply out of what would have been landfill food. If it's the plug on the end of the DC cable, shave the plastic molding down with a knife and resolder the wires. Slap it back together with heatshrink tubing and silicone rubber.
